TRR’s BEST OF AWARDS

HOW THEY WORK:

Each year, starting in early January, we host a Reader’s Choice nomination event on our Facebook page that lasts about three weeks or so. Within a selection of specific categories, our readers can nominate the people and/or businesses that they feel were the best in the previous year. At the end of that event, all the nominations and the “likes” they have received are tallied up. The Top Ten are then placed into official polls where our faithful readers can vote for their favorites to win.

In addition to our Reader’s Choice awards, we also have our Editor’s Choice awards for all the same categories as well as some unique Editor’s Choice only awards. The Editor’s Choice awards are not voted on, but hand-selected by the editorial and management staff of The Reptile Report.

Winners receive a lovely trophy to display in their home or place of business, as well as a digital badge to share online, not to mention excellent bragging rights.

The Managing Editor for the Best of Awards is Judy Clothier and can be reached at Judy@TheReptileReport.com for any questions or comments you might have.

BEST OF 2017 DETAILS:

Voting for Reader’s Choice Awards will run February 5-18.

You may vote once per day in each category.

You must be logged into Facebook to cast your vote. (This is only because doing so is the most secure way we have to prevent large-scale cheating.)

If there are any errors, typos, concerns, complaints, adjustments wanted, or any other issues with these polls, contact the Managing Editor at Judy@TheReptileReport.com. She will do her best to make everything right. Any complaints made elsewhere (ie: on social media or forum sites) will almost certainly go unseen and therefore do absolutely no good at all.

Don’t assume your favorite will win just because they are popular or got lots of nominations. They can only win if you VOTE every day and spread the word to all your friends and associates!

EDITOR’S CHOICE Winners will be announced February 20th.

READER’S CHOICE Winners will be announced February 23rd.

All trophies will be mailed to the winners so long as I’m able to reach them and get their information. We expect them to go out in time for you to bring yours to display on your table at the NARBC Tinley Park Show in March, if you wish. If you are a winner and haven’t heard from me within seven days of the announcement, PLEASE contact me at Judy@TheReptileReport.com.
